STAY CLASSY, BEAR FANS.

A Bears fan attacked outside Soldier Field says police have it all wrong: He and his buddy weren't attacked by Cowboys fans, they were stabbed by fellow Bears fans for saying something nice about the Packers.

"We were just idiots," said the 21-year-old man from Oak Lawn, still nursing a cut to his shoulder from Thursday night's post-game scuffle.

His friend fared worse, suffering eight or nine cuts to the back. "It was probably a knife because the cuts were so clean," said the man, who did not want to be identified.

It's the old story, too little self-control and too much beer.

The attackers fled in a red or maroon car, possibly a Mitsubishi Mirage or Mazda Protege, police said. They added that everyone involved appeared to have been drinking.

We dedicate the following Happy Schnapps Combo song to the injured, and to all the frustrated callers on Chicago sports talk radio.
